Geneviève Piché

Painting

Reminiscent of the candid world of children's drawings, this exhibition presents a series of colourful works where feverish forms come to life in imaginary, vaporous evocations. The painterly space is a metaphor of an inner world. The abstraction of the works allows the observing eye to imagine and retrace the artist's spontaneous movements.

Raymonde Jodoin

Niellures

Drawing

By primarily use of washi (Japanese paper) and ink, Raymonde Jodoin reflects the pleasure of drawing process. The series Niellures - the title refers to the blight that attacks corn cobs, staining them black - presents shapes and textures of contrasting black and white that challenge the eye to pick out something familiar.

Karen Grenier

Entretiens particuliers

Textile

Seam ripper in hand, Karen Grenier hunts down the embroidered or woven labels hidden inside garments. In severing the thread she frees them from their utilitarian bonds. The artist showcases simple labels in their fully material aspect, revealing what would otherwise elude our perception: their singular aesthetic dimension or and the message they convey.

About Diligence

Painting, mixed media

Bozica Radjenovic pays tribute to women artists who have made their mark on art history of the 20th and 21st centuries. Combining texts written by these women with their portraits, appearing here as a surface reflecting their life journeys, the artist questions and underscores the challenges of being a woman and an artist.

Jean-Pierre Gaudreau

Inhabiting Spirit

Painting and drawing

Motivated mainly by his travels around the world, Jean-Pierre Gaudreau's artwork begins as sketches created in foreign locales. This particular exhibition features paintings and drawings inspired by his time spent in Paris and India. Imagined or remembered peregrinations mingle in a surreal pictorial painterly reality bringing together architecture, landscape and the bestiary.

André Martel

Artifact for Now

Installation and sculpture

The sculptures and installations brought together in the Artifact for Now exhibition were created especially for L'Imagier. Influenced by Zen philosophy, André Martel seeks out the logic that can sometimes emerge from ambiguity. By juxtaposing high-tech artifacts and natural elements, the artist reveals a syncretic view of our world

Peter Boyadjieff

Oxygen

Digital Art

Peter Boyadjieff's interest in publicity and photography is displayed in his art through a reflection on the different dimensions of the visual sign. The exhibited works are organized around the theme of Oxygen, a fundamental element of life. The presentation of these poetic works seeks to engage the public in a positive manner.

Lisanne Binette

Wild Imaginings on Landscape

Painting

Lisanne Binette uses colour to translates her perception of the chromatic and ever-changing Outaouais landscape. The artist's work freely evokes the effect of natural landscapes on those who contemplate them. The sheer size and strikingly luminous hues of the works rekindle this emotion.
